Happy New Year :)




Our unexpected "gift" to ourselves today was a new fence charger - the old one got swamped with all the rain we've had and conked out, which the pigs picked up on immediately, Allis taking a leisurely stroll down to the poultry barn. E fashioned a much more watertight apparatus out of an old honey super, so hopefully this charger will last more then a year.

We've been posting lots of "stuff" from the basement on freecycle, and hopefully the bedroom set that's sitting out in the garage will be gone soon as well. Now that we have room in the basement, we'll stat to organize and purge some more - our basement is enormous, and has served as a dumping ground for outgrown baby equipment for months now. We're saving all the baby clothes and equipment for when our family gets bigger, but it needs to be in some semblance of order, as well as ready for seed starting in March.

A co-worker offered us a new-to-us wood-stove so we're very excited about that possibility. We'll have to enlarge the hearth a bit, but we'll talk to the local wood-stove store and see how much that will cost. It'll probably be a project for this coming fall, so we can save up some money. It's a large one, with a nice big cooking area too!

An explanation of the pics above: Georgia has figured out that sticking her fingers up her nose is a sure fire way to get a laugh, and immediately "assumes the position" the minute anyone takes out a camera - the series above were her Aunt Kerry's efforts to got a non- nose-picking shot.
